Of the various Henson Company theme songs, my favorites are the ones from The Muppet Show and The Jim Henson Hour. When it comes to theme songs from animated shows, I like the themes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original theme for the original series), Animaniacs, Rugrats, Rocky and...

This video of commercials from 1987 includes a commercial for Sesame Street Live: Big Bird and the ABCs at the 3:44 mark.

With today being Cinco de Mayo, I've been thinking a bit about Speedy Gonzales, and one thing has hit me. Usually, when there's a special Looney Tunes marathon or a video release that tries to include all of the characters, the Oscar-winning short "Speedy Gonzales" is often the only Speedy...

I'm really not sure what folder is the right one for this. A few months ago, The Muppet Mindset announced that it would discontinue its Weekly Muppet Wednesdays article series. Most of the really important characters have been covered, but there's still quite a few who I feel should be given WMW...

I always thought Bobo was dumb as well. I was surprised when Bobo and Beauregard were paired together in a couple of Muppets.com videos.

She's the archivist for The Jim Henson Company. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Karen_Falk

I was just looking at this again, and noticed that it said that Random House and CTW worked together on the videos, with Random House choosing the themes. I previously thought it said that Random House chose themes and CTW selected clips, but I guess CTW could have suggested some themes as well...

Has there ever been a "Dollar Store"? I feel like there was one, but every dollar store I know of is either Dollar Tree or Dollar General (I can't remember whether I've been to a Family Dollar). I feel like there was one just called "The Dollar Store", though it's possible people were just...

I know that pretty much every plot has been done by now, but I've noticed several episodes have plots that are similar to episodes of the original series. The love triangle between DJ, Steve, and the vet, particularly how it wraps up in the last episode (and I saw this coming, even before...

The next DVD after Sing It, Elmo! will be Elmos' Favorite Stories, which will have seven street stories. I wonder if that's a new trend. Only two of the stories have been announced, but one of them is the one where Abby thinks Oscar is a prince, which was released in Fairy Tale Fun. Still...

The theme from the Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video series.

I wonder if I should have said that The Muppet Show and various specials would get special "remastered" editions like Emmet Otter and The Bells of Fraggle Rock did last Christmas, meaning they'd be shown widescreen and at a faster frame rate.

Season 30 hardly had any Kermit segments at all, with News being the most common of them. One episode had Kermit and Joey sing the alphabet, another had "ABCs of the Swamp", and I think another had "Caribbean Amphibian", and then the other Kermit segments that year were news (including...

I just did a Muppet Mindset list on the top ten episodes. https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2016/04/12/michael-ranks-the-muppets/ But here is my ranking of all 16 episodes: 16. Bear Left Then Bear Write 15. Walk the Swine 14. Got Silk? 13. Too Hot for Handler 12. Pigs in a Blackout 11. Pig...

That Emmy appearance was interesting. Is it just me, or was Buster being performed by Richard Hunt in that appearance? It doesn't sound like Marty's voice for the character. It is interesting that Jim was able to perform there while Frank didn't, since this was a few years before he became a...

One thing has hit me previously. Could it be that they wanted to know who built Lips because they needed to rebuild him? Perhaps to ask for what material was used? I was thinking that the Lips seen in 2011 was new, and Steve Whitmire talked about him getting rebuilt for the new show as if the...

I don't think Rhapsody Rabbit is a very good cartoon. Of course I haven't watched it in years, and recently I have been watching and gaining a little appreciation for some WB shorts that I hadn't really been a big fan of before, maybe I'll like it better if I were to watch it now. Most of the...

Regardless of how difficult copying was, or how uncommon it was back then for anybody to have two VCRs, the chances of piracy would be the same whether the videos were for purchase or just for rent. Anybody know if there were any video releases that have only been available for rent and never...

And they weren't worried that people would just copy rented videos?

Is it just me, or are the majority of the most iconic Looney Tunes shorts directed by Chuck Jones? Cartoons like What's Opera, Doc?, The Rabbit of Seville, Duck Amuck, Duck Dogers, One Froggy Evening, and the hunters trilogy all seem to be among the best-known Looney Tunes shorts, ones known by...
